setsebool \- set SELinux boolean value

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B setsebool
.I "[ \-PNV ] boolean value | bool1=val1 bool2=val2 ..."

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B setsebool
sets the current state of a particular SELinux boolean or a list of booleans
to a given value. The value may be 1 or true or on to enable the boolean, or 0 or false or off to disable it.

Without the \-P option, only the current boolean value is
affected; the boot-time default settings
are not changed.

If the \-P option is given, all pending values are written to
the policy file on disk. So they will be persistent across reboots.

If the \-N option is given, the policy on disk is not reloaded into the kernel.

If the \-V option is given, verbose error messages will be printed from semanage libraries.

.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
Enable container_use_devices boolean (will return to persistent value after reboot)
# setsebool container_use_devices 1
Persistently enable samba_create_home_dirs and samba_enable_home_dirs booleans
# setsebool -P samba_create_home_dirs=on samba_enable_home_dirs=on
